My dance journey started with modern classes at the age of 11. Four years later, I begrudgingly started ballet to help my technique, and to my surprise, fell in love with it. I can't tell you how many times I asked the internet, "Is 15 too late to become a professional ballet dancer?" (Google said yes, in case you were wondering)

​

While I was able to join a pre-professional program by 17, my body still had a lot of catching up to do. I'd spent hours stretching, practicing at home, and doing Pilates, but continued to feel limited in my flexibility, strength, and persistent muscle soreness.

​

Fast forward to 2021: I'd stopped dancing a few years prior and embarked on my Pilates instructor training journey. I knew I wanted to work with dancers, but the more I learned about exercise science, the more I realized that Pilates alone - while it has many benefits - also has its limitations. Simply put, it can't provide dancers with everything they need out of a cross-training program.

​

With this in mind, I'm currently pursuing my BSc in Strength & Conditioning. My mission is to educate and empower dancers to train like the athletes they are. I hope to bring clarity and confidence to your training choices, using simple, evidence-based programs.
